Fans of TCM and other classic networks will find much to love in Family Entertainment TV (FETV), a channel home to countless old TV shows and movies. Many of them are Westerns like Daniel Boone and The Texan, but FETV has a good variety of genres too, including romcom sitcoms like Bewitched and legal dramas like Perry Mason (both of which have had recent adaptations, but we'll leave it you decide which is better).
Now, while it's true that FETV comes included in many cable packages, these days, the channel is just as easy to watch cordless.
To watch FETV live without cable, you can simply sign up for a live TV streaming service that carries the channel. We list your best options below, but they all differ by price, trial length, and channel lineup, so make sure you go through them carefully before you subscribe.
